‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Showrunners Break Down the Two-Episode Premiere and Reveal Their Favorite Easter Eggs

After years in development, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has finally arrived with two stellar episodes introducing a bold new era of the franchise. Set in the 32nd century, the series follows a new group of cadets and their unconventional Captain/Chancellor (Holly Hunter) as they navigate space politics, college pranks, and coming-of-age growing pains at the newly reopened Starfleet Academy. I recently sat down with co-showrunners Alex Kurtzmanand Noga Landau to discuss the first two episodes of the series, which Kurtzman also happened to direct.
